Franciscus, de Bacona (ca. 1300-1372)
Composed partly in parchment (pp. 1-74) and partly in paper (pp. 75-98), this fourteenth-century manuscript brings together three different texts. The Compendium moralitatum (1320-1322) of the Dominican James of Lausanne is built as a dictionary running from A[bicit mundus …] (p. 1a) to Y[pocrita] (p. 36b). There then follows the Symbolum magistri domini Bonae Venturae, as the rubric calls it (p. 37), which is in fact a text attributed to the Dominican Aldobrandinus de Tuscanella, copied by a different hand than that of the preceding text (pp. 37a-72a). The section in paper contains excerpts from the Questiones de prologo quarti sententiarum (pp. 75a-98a) by the English Carmelite John Baconthorp (c. 1290-1348) [https://drcs.zahnd.be/oid/100499]. The cords and the sewing stations on the inside of the spine of the book (after p. 98) show that another part of the manuscript was originally bound in, and has since been removed. Fragments of canon law texts from the fourteenth-century serve as pastedowns.
